Trying to find out if this is newer printing -- after new 4th Edition base game -- Is this the new edition (2014) that has 4th Edition compatibility?

I don't believe they reprinted Factions with the 4th Edition. However, it should be usable with the newer edition printing. Some symbol changes on the 4th Ed board may not match up. But, the functionality should be the same.

Hi Eileen, Well, according to a post on BoardGameGeek, my copy is 1st Edition ( 2012 ). The 2nd Edition is supposed to be available in Europe and soon in the States. Hope that helps! Scott D.

I just received the 2nd edition. This includes the new 4th edition compatible colonies.

What is the compatibility issue? The cards should work with any edition. Agenda cards are objectives that provide points. There are new Alien Tech cards that should work with any edition. The factions are new spaces to put ships. From the Game Salute (makers of the game) page it looks like the 4th edition is just fancier. It looks like there is only one edition of Factions, which is compatible with the 4th edition.

The box just says "new edition." It doesn't have a number listed. Obviously not the first edition, and it doesn't have the expansion, but it has some nice features like life-point bullets and organizer cards to keep everything tidy.

Yes, it's totally compatible with the previous games. Check the D&D; website as well to see if they have expanded adventures for the combo, like they do for the previous pair!

If you have SC4, keep it. None of the upgrades to the new edition is worth while. Very limited in size of cities. I personally am not a fan and unhappy with it.

I believe my edition is the 3rd addition 2008, and I have wooden blocks for my animals. Look at http://boardgamegeek.com/ for discussions on the editions. I know they are up to the 7th edition but it is in German only and from what I hear the German edition need a few changes that were already in the other language translated editions. Hope that helps.

Hi, Ryan. Z-Man sells a $10 Replacement Deck direct to the consumer. It can be found on their website and has Product ID # ZMG71191 with UPC 681706711911. That will make the first edition game compatible with all new second edition expansions including On the Brink and the upcoming In The Lab Expansions.DaveBoardgames 4 Us

Hi! It means there is a more recent edition available, but this one is still fully functional. This one is the 7.0 upgrade which was first available in 2002. The platforms it called for when originally produced were Windows NT / 98 / 2000 / Me / XP / 95. I believe it's the last one they made before it became the CD versions. I don't know a lot more about it than that unfortunately. The copy I am offering is brand new - still shrinkwrapped. I hope this answers your questions.

Be very cautious. I thought I was buying the original and got the new game. I complained to the vendor(PJ Books, I believe). Said they'd find me the original and send it. It was very used. More used than my game(I was buying it for a member of my family). What a mess

I'm using it on the 2014 edition, not sure how different they are from each other

The one I purchased was the first edition of the expansion. I don't know of the second is out yet.

These components looked just like my components in the base set. It does not have the cool components that come in the upgrade pack. I have had the base set for a long time; it is probably a first edition. I was not aware the 4th edition had upgraded components.

The second edition is a full game with an updated rules set. It does not require the first edition.

You don't need 1st edition. The 2nd edition is a complete stand-alone replacement. There are a few mistakes in the rules regarding victory cities and scoring (at least in my copy). Avalon Hill has the errata posted online; I'm not sure if the corrections actually made it to print.

Yes, generally there is a noticeable difference between the 3rd and 4th editions of Catan in two ways: 1) The artwork is very different so your tiles will not look the same, depending on how much that matters to you. Personally, I'd rather have them match. 2) And this could present a more series problem. The 4th ed. of the base game has a different border which locks together. I know it doesn't work well with the 3rd ed. of the base game so I'm guessing you could have some problems here as well. It is a nice improvement to the game in that it holds things together nicely, but it does present compatibility problems with earlier editions. Hope this helps!

Has been reprinted and is available for $125 from Games Workshop or even cheaper from OLGS. Also the new 4th edition has extra parts and missions. it is everything they are selling here for over double the cost with more stuff.

They're right, it is deceptive advertising. The one they send you is actually the newer version of the game, no the one you see pictured here. The prompts on the card are situated differently. As far as it being "worse", that is the personal preference of those who said that. When I got mine, I was disappointed that it wasn't the older version pictured here. But I looked through it; it isn't terrible or anything. It is just fine. The terms are updated for our digital age, but I don't find anything inherently wrong with it.

Nope! This version serves as a base set (victory cards and treasure cards), so it will work in place of the original if you're using an expansion
